[cobalt-security] For those having trouble connecting to console port on Raq3

[Jeremy Hull <jeremy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For those having trouble connecting to console port on RaQ3 (possibly others)
after system boots up. Those who are not having trouble disregard.

Symptom: User can see system come up fine but after getty is loaded all activity
to the screen halts and a login prompt does not come up even after hitting return
several times.

Fix:

As superuser

edit /etc/inittab

replace this line:
1:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS0 115200

with the following:
1:12345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -r -s 115200 ttyS0

after saving

do a init q
ps -ef|grep getty
and kill the PID

init should respawn the new mgetty and you should now have console access.

Works like a charm for me, enjoy!

PS Figured I would post this since I recommended using the console port in a
different thread ([cobalt-security] Telent 0.17 Update).
